If you want to go ahead and put this on OSUOSL, get the PR in for the beta, make sure everything is working properly, then go for it. I thought it seemed unlikely that would happen in time anyway. Longer term, coming more in line with release policy would make this easier. We can migrate our additional binaries off OSUOSL, have them properly verified on dist.a.o or Maven, and not have eg. two different ways in the build that the Windows launcher might be included, or wonder how we ship Swift launchers to platform builders on other OS, etc. , etc. Best wishes, Neil --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] For further information about the NetBeans mailing lists, visit: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Mailing+lists
